> As an upcoming parent, I feel I just need to not overreact and be moderate. Like TV in the 1900s, I just need to not rely on YouTube to babysit my kids.

But more likely you are just going to do it wrong and your children will resent you for it and pledge they'll react better to the unforeseen challenges they will have raising their own children

We're a civilization of drug addicts, addicted to that hit of chemicals -- we as a species have always been like this, but the environment that we have created for ourselves is not engineered properly in that it does not regulated that hit properly. Good parenting is not going to fix that, it might delay it. But kids grow up and then they buy and do whatever they want, learning self-regulation is difficult if not impossible in the candyland our desires have created.

>Concerns me that the person doing that job couldn't connect the dots of kids using parent's devices.

I wouldn't be surprised they actually did connect the dots but it was in their best interest it says it was a middle age mother.

"...in the 1900s"

First time I've heard that one (surprisingly).

That one did kind of hit me, too. Wow, we're almost into the second decade of this century. Huh.
